  • Big Society Capital
    Saïd Business School Case Big Society Capital The World’s First Social Investment Wholesale Bank Jess Daggers Alex Nicholls October 2016 1 Acknowledgements The authors wish to thank all the many people who contributed to the development of this case, notably Aunnie Patton who was responsible for much of initial fieldwork behind the case. We would also like to express our gratitude to key staff at Big Society Capital - including Simon Rowell, Nick O’Donohoe and Cliff Prior – for their very helpful comments on earlier versions of the case. This case reveals the development of Big Society Capital as something of a ‘secret history’ by focussing, particularly, on the individuals, sets of relationships and pivotal events that lead to its establishment. As such, the case narrative is built upon a range of reflections that represent the views of many key actors during the main phases of its development rather than a post hoc set of observations. In this sense, the case attempts to piece together a complex story from a variety of evidence and perspectives that may not always be consistent and which do not incorporate the benefits of hindsight. It is hoped that this approach will provide a more ‘true’ account of the development of this important institution in contrast to the more rationalized version of events typical of many histories of institution building. 2 Introduction Big Society Capital (BSC) is a financial institution set up for the purpose of building the market for social investment in the UK. BSC defines social investment as ‘the use of repayable finance to achieve a social as well as a financial return’.

  • Why Have UK Pension Funds Not Taken on Social Impact Investing?
    Why have UK pension funds not taken on social impact investing? Dana Elman Vishkin Master of Public Administration in Public Policy and Management, Class of 2016 London School of Economics and Political Science ©Thomas Hawk Photo modified to black and white ABSTRACT According to the UK government and Big Society Capital, pension funds are not investing enough in social and environmental impact investments. Pension funds are the largest asset owners in the UK economy and are legally obligated by fiduciary duty, to maximise financial returns. Many impact investment practitioners argue that fiduciary duty is the main reason holding back pensions from making impact investments, for various reasons. In this research based on my master’s dissertation, I argue that fiduciary duty is not the most critical reason holding back pension funds from impact investing. I designed a case study on UK pensions’ engagement with the impact investment market to test my hypothesis that measuring the impact of an investment leads to high transaction costs and is a limiting factor.

  • A Brief Handbook on Social Impact Investment a UK Perspective
    A Brief handbook on Social Impact Investment A UK perspective Produced by the City of London Corporation January 2015 Important Notice This handbook is an updated version of a booklet produced by the City of London Corporation, which is responsible for its content. It is published in accordance with the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. It has been approved by Bates Wells & Braithwaite London LLP, a firm of solicitors authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (registered FCA number 466148). This handbook provides a general overview of social investment and of the nature and shape of the UK social investment market. It is intended to provide contextual information only and is not intended to promote, recommend or endorse any particular investment opportunities. Any organisations or products mentioned are described solely for the purpose of illustration and by way of example. This handbook is not therefore intended to be an invitation or an inducement to engage in investment activity or to constitute financial advice in respect of social investments. All investment and commercial activities carry risk and social investments are no exception. As the social investment market is relatively new, the risks which apply to a specific social investment opportunity may be uncertain or difficult to assess. Any person thinking about making a social investment should conduct due diligence and consider taking appropriate financial and other advice. No person should base any investment decision on the general information about the social investment market contained in this handbook. 1 Foreword The first version of this booklet was published in autumn 2012.
